    Mountain biking

    Nice view, great castle and a well-drivable path to the top, which is not too difficult. A little crowded on the weekend. If necessary, take the small unpaved forest path down. Is on the left about 150 meters after the castle on the way down. But be careful: there are a few stairs.

    If you like castles, you'll like the Wartburg! Hardly any other castle is so closely connected to German history. The most famous guests who have stayed here since it was founded in 1067 by Ludwig the Springer were Martin Luther, Saint Elizabeth, Goethe and Wagner. The Wartburg has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1999.
